Has Connor Ingram Locked Down the Oilers’ Net?

Goaltending drama, young players finding their game, and big-picture concerns — it’s another loaded episode of Ask Dubey on Oilersnation. 🏒


Dubey checks in from the Cayman Islands but still dives headfirst into a busy week surrounding the Edmonton Oilers — where the spotlight once again lands on the crease.


The episode opens with a discussion around Connor Ingram being officially named the team’s starter and why that decision raised eyebrows despite his strong play. Dubey breaks down whether Ingram has truly separated himself as a playoff-calibre number one, what the move might signal behind the scenes, and how this impacts Tristan Jarry moving forward.


From there, it’s classic Ask Dubey — tackling your questions on:

• Whether Ingram has proven he can carry a team into the playoffs

• Why naming a “starter” publicly may have been unnecessary

• How long does it really take young players like Matt Savoie to adjust to the NHL

• Why development isn’t always linear (and why patience matters)

• If the Oilers’ recent inconsistency is a systems issue or execution problem

• And whether long playoff runs are finally catching up to stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl


Dubey also touches on the absence of Draisaitl, why it could actually benefit the team long-term, and what really matters as the Oilers push toward the postseason.


The takeaway? It’s not about being perfect right now — it’s about getting hot at the right time.

  • 545. Connor McDavid chasing 50 goals, injury updates, and NHL awards

    01:04:34||Ep. 545
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' Pacific Division chase, Connor McDavid's 50-goal chase, line combinations, injury updates, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid, and what is more likely to happen: the captain hits 50 goals or wins another Hart Trophy. Given that Nathan MacKinnon has been the favourite all season long, everybody on the podcast seems to think it's too late in the season for McDavid to get the attention he deserves. Even though McDavid has gone supernova, there seems to be voter fatigue about Connor winning again.Shifting gears, Tyler went on a rant about Cole Caufield getting love for scoring a "clean 50" goals without a single empty-netter. As you'll hear, Caufield's milestone is being celebrated as unique, but Tyler's research showed that it actually happens much more often than people might expect. The guys also walked through the latest injury updates for Connor Ingram and Jason Dickison, two players who are expected to be massive pieces of the Oilers' playoff push.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season quickly winding down, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.00:00 - START01:10 - Delicious debate 106:00 - How does Bettman consume hockey?07:00 - McDavid 50 goals or Hart?10:00 - Ignoring McDavid12:00 - McDavid/Bouch trophy finishes19:00 - Rick cashed his Bouch Bet21:00 - Does McDavid care about 50 goals?22:00 - Habs Fans rant26:30 - The News27:00 - Thoughts on Dickinson30:30 - T.J.

    11:35|
    The Oilers are heating up at the perfect time 🔥 — and there’s plenty to break down on this episode of Ask Dubey.With the playoffs right around the corner, Dubey dives into Edmonton’s recent surge, how the team has steadied itself after flirting with a Wild Card spot, and why their current form should have fans feeling optimistic.A big part of that? The play in net.Dubey opens with a deep dive into the goaltending situation — why Connor Ingram has taken control of the crease, what it means for Tristan Jarry moving forward, and whether there’s still a path back to a starting role.From there, it’s classic Ask Dubey — answering your questions on:• Whether this is officially Ingram’s net heading into the playoffs• Who has the higher ceiling between Ingram and Jarry• Why being a reliable backup is more important than ever• The Oilers’ MVP (outside of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl 👀)• Why Evan Bouchard is finally getting the recognition he deserves• And whether this team really does have an “internal clock” that kicks in before the playoffsDubey also explains why momentum heading INTO the playoffs matters more than regular season dominance — and why this current stretch could be exactly what Edmonton needs.The takeaway? This team doesn’t need to be perfect — they just need to be peaking at the right timeDrop your questions using #AskDubey or in the comments below for next week’s episode 👇SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed their first impressions of Edmonton's new friends, the latest Oilers goalie drama, previewed Tuesday's matchup against the Avalanche, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' four pending UFA skaters, and how many of Adam Henrique, Jack Roslovic, Kasperi Kapanen, and Jason Dickinson will be back with the team next season. Given that there will be limited spots and dollars available, Stan Bowman will have some tricky decisions to make if he wants to bring more than a couple of these guys back for another tour.Changing gears, the guys discussed Evan Bouchard's heater that he's been on since the Olympic break, and how this run has forced his way into the Norris conversation whether people like it or not. The guys also discussed Bouchard's wild ab reveal that took the Internet by storm, and how it was one of those surprised that really caught Oilers fans off guard. Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Tenable.

  • Has This Edmonton Oilers Team Become a Soap Opera?

    14:11|
    Goaltending questions, confidence struggles, and “soap opera” narratives — it’s another loaded episode of Ask Dubey on Oilersnation. 🏒Dubey checks in from Secaucus this time, trading the Cayman Islands for a hotel room, but still diving headfirst into a heated stretch surrounding the Edmonton Oilers — where the crease and team pressure remain front and center.It’s classic Ask Dubey — tackling your questions on: • Whether the Oilers’ goaltending situation is actually unusual across the NHL • How goalies regain confidence during tough stretches • Why there’s no easy fix late in the season for struggling netminders • The mental side of goaltending and simplifying the game under pressure • Whether Edmonton has become a “soap opera” like the Leafs of the West • What’s really being said inside the locker room during high-pressure momentsDubey also dives into the reality of playing in a Canadian market, why outside noise doesn’t reflect what’s happening in the room, and how leadership from guys like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl keeps the group grounded during the stretch run.The takeaway? It’s not panic time — it’s about blocking out the noise, trusting the group, and finding form at the right time.Drop your questions using #AskDubey or in the comments below for next week’s episode 👇SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
